Re: [slim] Brick Potential?
The server maybe a fully open codebase, but if Logitech fail to continue, I doubt the open source community could take it forwards. The development team have changed interfaces repeatedly, documentation of key interfaces is out of date. The third party developers struggle to maintain code that works. Two major ones seem to have given up. The latest moves - Radio Touch seem more akin to what people have against Mr Jobs style, significant requirement for MySb.com. This the same as the Harmony remote business, also purchased by Logitech. As to the longevity, I have no opinion. Obviously Logitech have been right-sizing the business, their management will be primarily focussed on returns. One has to treat the product for what it is. buy today, it is the most effective product on the market, but don't expect hi-fi component longevity of the systems. This is the fast moving consumer goods market, not Sean Dean's great innovation, volumes and profit returns are the key issues.

Re: [slim] Internet Radio Gone
Can you access any internet radio stations via Squeezebox Server? If not, have you tried stopping the Squeezebox server and then restarting it (alternatively rebooting your server)? What sometimes happens is that Squeezebox Server starts up before the box running it has an internet connection available. It is therefore set up to run as if no internet is available, even though the internet connection has subsequently become available. If this doesn't work, what does the server.log file say when you try to play one of these stations?

Re: [slim] Logitech should hire Pippin! Those having difficulty w/Controller should get iPeng.
There are many reasons it might not be a good idea for Logitech to formally hire Pippin (namely, Pippin may not be interested.) However, I believe Logitech would be well served by formally sponsoring and branding the iPeng app. To a new customer, I think it looks sloppy that the app is (1) not free and (2) not associated with Logitech in any way. Full disclaimer, I own iPeng, love it, was worth every penny, etc. I am not arguing that Pippin should not be compensated for his fantastic app. Rather I'm trying to look at it from the perspective of someone not already immersed in the Squeezebox community / mindset. We on this board understand the power and benefit of the open source approach, but the masses do not. And for my 2 cents, I think it gives the appearance (on the surface) of not being a fully integrated, credible, and clean solution that Logitech is not formally associated with the app. Again, I mean no criticism of Pippin or iPeng here, rather that Logitech's strategy on this front could be improved. -- ajkidle 2x SBR, Boom, Radio, iPeng ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72308 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The problem manifests itself as follows: - reboot squeezebox - everything fine when playing the first selection - select a different record - record begins to play but after a few seconds the 'rebuffering...' message appears the player hangs at (e.g.) 'rebuffering...68%' and disappears from the network. - reboot squeezebox and repeat ad nauseam. I have tried many of the nostra suggested on this forum, such as clearing down unnecessary plugins but it has made no difference. I also tried downgrading to 7.3.2, but fell foul of the mac's perl upgrade on that one. Ideas (or better solutions) from the wise collective on this site most welcome. [I have tried to post this message several times in the forums, but it has never showed up. Now I am trying via email.] I share the original poster's problems with rebuffering and also believe it to be a software issue with recent versions of Squeezebox Server. I have been running the same set up flawlessly for over two years, without ever having any problems with skipping or rebuffering. Now, however, after having recently upgraded Squeezebox Server I am having constant problems with music rebuffering. Nothing else in my setup has changed at all, only the upgrade of Squeezebox Server. I've only noticed this problem with music from my local collection (mixture of FLAC and Ogg Vorbis), and to my recollection the rebuffering has not been an issue with Internet streams. -- Jason Voegele The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense. -- E.

Re: [slim] Logitech should hire Pippin! Those having difficulty w/Controller should get iPeng.
As much as I admire Pippin and the good work he's done, after using iPeng on a first generation itouch, I think the controller has a much cleaner UI and more responsive. I know the controller's had its problems, but so does ipeng or any other aspect of SqueezeX. Maybe its different on a newer device, but the ipeng UI can be slow, and I haven't warmed up to its UI conventions as much as everyone else. That said I'm glad I bought it as I do use it more a home and, in conjunction with vpn from my router, I can stream remotely to my ipod, which is very nice. Also ipeng is the only UI, I know of, that shows you an active view of all your devices/streams in one area. Lastly, I don't think one developer can make the difference at this point. Hiring Pippin won't make up the fact that the controller hardware was under spec'ed and Squeezeplay is still a work in progress. The problems people are having are more systemic. -- sander sander's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10737 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72308 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi All, Slightly pie in the sky this idea, however I was thinking before how it would be good to hook up my local music collection with lastFM for artwork, for example if there was no artwork saved for an album then it would send a request to LastFm and get the artwork from there (or Napster etc.) - this would be particularly beneficial for compilations if there was some way of displaying album art for an artist rather then '101 power ballads' for example.

[slim] rhapsody and the new web-based remote control applet
Several people have complained over the last two months as to the problems with the new web-based remote control applet at mysqueezebox.com, ever since it debuted. Specifically, shoutcast is totally unusable. And Rhapsody can only play channels, but no albums. Yes, I can use the hardware remote control with infrared to play albums, but why are there still bugs in the ability of the software remote control at mysqueezebox.com for this feature? I am quite confused as to why Logitech has not: 1. Fixed the issue yet. 2. Even acknowledged (as far as I know) that there is a problem. I called today to both Logitech and Rhapsody technical support. Both companies forward the calls to Phillipine call centers where nice people read from scripts and have no idea what I am talking about. In the old days, maybe a year ago, there was participation by Logitech employees on these forums. A year ago, I could call technical support and talk directly to an empoyee at the slim devices company. Now, there is no logitech employee feedback and no one to talk to who even knows about this problem. I am frustrated that two months since the new web interface has debuted, I have no idea if: 1. Does Logitech know about this problem? 2. Is Logitech working on this problem? 3. When will this problem be fixed? No, I didn't report this as a bug on a separate web page where I would have to do a new registration to log in. I am not going to hassle with that. Anyways, others have already reported this bug two months ago. In the old days, reporting a problem on this forum would be enough to bring it to Logitech's attention and get it fixed, usually within 24 hours or less. Bottom line - what's going on? Two months is long enough for this major problem to continue. I don't use a local server. I rely totally on internet music, like Rhapsody.

Re: [slim] Logitech should hire Pippin! Those having difficulty w/Controller should get iPeng.
I am a huge fan of iPeng and have 3 copies across the various i* products owned by my family. I am in agreement however that an officialy supported product gives comfort to users that the product will continue to be supported going forward. A case in point would be Inguz, the room correction add in. By all accounts a fine piece of software that gives squeeze products significant dsp capability. I have held off implementing this as every squeeze software update seems to break Inguz, and it is only because of the dedication of the original author that the software is brought back to life. What if Pippin were to win the lottery tomorrow and spend his declining years on a beach somewhere? The next squeeze software update would probably break iPeng (see the developers forum for discussion of squeeze's lack of a stable framework to hang add-ins on), and who would bring iPeng back to life?

Re: [slim] Think I've been ripped off - Squeezebox Classic Store Demo Unit.. Help!
iPhone;493697 Wrote: I think you might not know who Sean is, He started the Squeezebox! Hack all you want, it is a menu demo unit (not working demo unit) and I believe it doesn't have the guts to be a player even if one could put the correct OS and Firmware onto it. I realise who Sean is. I am also a complete cynic that believes that even if its just firmware there is no way Sean is going to tell me, as its obvious from a business point of view these should not be in public hands and releasing this information would open up a potential back door. I'm terms of of your doesn't have the guts I've ted in my previous posts that it looks to me (a) the unit is visually identical inside (except for the CF Card in the place of the WiFi) to a production unit (based on comparisons with lots of highres online guides from all the audio modders. (b) The rolling demo actually includes lots of audio - its not just a rolling text demo so there is functional audio hardware in this (c) I can actually get it to connect to my Squeeze Server etc. and browse tracks etc. (d) This is a also a Logitech branded demo unit not a Slim devices (if that makes any difference in terms of demo hardware versions) Hacking the CF Card is obviously a dead end (it looks to just contain the demo) but it would be at least be fun to get it to scroll something else. I also realise I'm now probably posting in the wrong section - the hardware mod section seems to have people more willing to seriously hack the hardware and swap bits out (upgraded wifi cards etc.) -- Radrismo Radrismo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34802 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72358 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
